So the Summer/Autumn festival season draws to an end. We have had the privilege of leading some big groups of singers at Port Fairy and at the National festival in Canberra in festival choirs as they celebrate their 40th and 50th anniversaries respectively. We've had a lovely big belt at songs from Archie Roach, Shane Howard and Michael Kennedy and you have to love seeing people making the transition from being passengers at these huge festival to being practitioners and performers.

In other news we have moved allour online services to a new host and are building a new and hopefully more useful and prettier website that we hope to launch in a month. (most likely 6 months) Check back soon.

James & Jane have been running community, festival and event choirs and singing events now for more than a decade, in every
